Error: Unable to access javafx.application.Application

[ElizabethStr]

Compiling seems to fail due to an issue with JavaFX being unavailable. I'm using the Windows version of Recaf 4.0.0-Snapshot via Recaf launcher 0.8 which has FX version 24-ea+19 listed and I've tried JDK 23 and Liberica JDK 23 and neither of them seem to remedy the issue. Is this a bug or am I making some kind of clueless newbie mistake here? Thanks in advance.

Can you provide more error details than just what is in the title? The launcher should spew out a bunch of information if it fails to launch Recaf.

Whilst I get the Error: Unable to access javafx.application.Application only on recompilation attempts inside Recaf it might be something to do with the launcher given that every time I try to update JavaFX it installs... the same version again. Here's the launcher's log just in case I'm missing something:

The log file you'd want to look at would be in %APPDATA%/Recaf with log-<current-date>.txt. The launcher log doesn't include anything noteworthy so it launched fine.

As for editing/saving, I tried to reproduce the setup and it doesn't throw any exceptions for me.

Oh, also thats a log call bug in the launcher 😅

Any word on the dated logfile?

If you can come back with the logfile contents / additional details feel free to re-open this.
